Emerging database application domains demand not only new functionality but also high performance. To satisfy these two requirements, the Volcano project provides efficient, exten...
After the emergence of numerous Internet streaming applications, rate-distortion (R-D) modeling of scalable video encoders has become an important issue. In this paper, we examine...
In this paper we provide a bridge between the infinite state models used in control theory to describe the evolution of continuous physical processes and the finite state models ...
This paper introduces a new generalisation of scale-space and pyramids, which combines statistical modelling with a spatial representation. The representation uses the familiar co...
The pressures which act on a software system over its life from inception to retirement are many and varied. It is an important goal in considering software evolvability to unders...
